Beyonce Knowles Plans To Portray Catwoman Eartha Kitt

May 4th, 2009 // 34 Comments

The project is still on hold at the moment, but Beyonce Knowles has said that she is hoping to get the chance to slip into the slinky one-piece first made famous by the original Catwoman herself. When she was prompted to say what she planned to do for her next on-screen role, the pop star answered, “I was going to do a film about Eartha Kitt. It’s a great story.”

In fact, Knowles is so keen to be a part of the movie that she would rearrange her hectic schedule to accommodate for production, should it get the green light.

That should be some interesting casting. Granted, we know that B can fill out a catsuit no problem, but the late, great Eartha‘s shoes would definitely be a bit harder to fill. She better start practice purring.

    as i am typing this…
    Eartha Kitt is turning in her grave

    Beyonce Knownothing
    is such a genuine no-talent

    it’s amazing to me she has gotten
    this far “singing” (i meant screeching)
    her way thru the music industry

    if this no-talent can get a record / movie deal

    then so can i!

    Oooooooooooooh please do not let her ruin any Eartha Kitt biopic – even if it is just for the Lifetime channel. Beyonce is not pretty enough or cool enough to portray Eartha Kitt. Gods in the heavens above, DO NOT LET THIS HAPPEN!

    Eartha’s not fat.

    Beyonce Knowles cannot play Eartha Kitt! Who is she kidding. Kitt was a personality and talented, but Beyonce is a nothing personality and boring! Please save your money Hollywood!. The late great Eartha Kitt deserves better!

    Jada would be the best Eartha Kitt.

    Beyonce is becoming more annoying each day. She thinks that she can excel in everything and she can’t. Somebody in her camp needs to sit her down and be truthful with her. The girl can’t act to save her life. She is an insult to seasoned and trained actresses who have the passion and acting skills to pull this off. But let her selfish spoiled azz do this movie so that just like her last movie, the critics can tear her apart.

    Bottom line – Eartha Kitt deserves more respect than this.

  8. Michelle

    Beyonce can NOT act! It’s about time someone told her that. She’s not the greatest singer, but she’s a good entertainer. But acting? NO. Eartha Kitt is way out of her league. Oh please!!! I also heard she’s planning to do a remake of A Star Is Born…someone needs to stop her QUICK!!!!!

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

    Beyonce doesn’t deserve to hear people talking about her like this. Beyonce is a great singer/performer/dancer/actresss, she is great in all the films . so good luck =]x

  11. Green Is Good

    Oh, retch. May as well send that shit straight to DVD.

  12. tizzle

    Why Beyonce always have to ruin everything?!
    She CANNOT act! She makes Madonna look like Meryl Streep!

  13. Kisha

    I’m sorry but Beyonce needs to go sit her a** down somewhere. SHE CAN”T ACT!!!! She is alright as a singer but she cannot act it seems that she acts the same in every movie. Someone in her camp needs to start telling the truth.

  14. Maddy

    Beyonce should be ashamed of herself. Eartha Kitt’s story deserves a genuine trained actor– not the maniacal Beyonce. It will be a sad day if she buys the part.

    KILL HER IF U CHOOSE TO HATERS,AS FAR AS I,OPE IS CONCERNED,B REMAINS ON TOP OF HER GAME.

  18. Tug

    NO NO NO NO NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Someone please stop this stupid, talentless turd from ruining the memory of Eartha Kitt!

    Weren’t her horrible performances in Dreamgirls and Cadillac Records torture enough?! Does she have to crap on everything?

    She’ll never be as legendary, have the class or be anywhere as talented as Kitt or any of the women she’s portrayed, so just stop already!!!! You’re a talentless fluke who can’t even put two sentences together, just GO AWAY!!!!!

  19. Tug

    Oh yeah elliad, I’m sure Halle Berry and every other Oscar-winning actress in Hollywood are shaking in their pants. Not!

    Laughing at her is more like it. She has the emotional range of a carrot and sounds like she’s reading her lines off a cue card for the first time.

    Beyonce is the black Madonna, she’s firmly cemented her status as one of the worst pop performers to ever be put on screen.

  20. mooninscorpio

    OH NO!! Beyonce. Can’t. Act. This is so offensive. Beyonce has the range of a dial tone. Jada Pinkett Smith is a talented actress who would be so much better as Eartha Kitt.

  21. abibtnis

    the only person who i think even remotely looks like eartha is THANDIE NEWTON, a classic british actress. both are very skinny and tiny, with large eyes and cute voices

  22. YLG

    Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

  23. Pearly

    Noooo! Do not want!!!

    Eartha deserves MUCH better!!!!!

  24. Voodoo Child

    In the words of the immortal Etta James, I would RATHER GO BLIND.

  25. mooninscorpio

    abibtnis, you are so right, I forgot about the talented and capable Thandie Newton!! She would be awesome. The only way Beyonce will be Eartha Kitt is if she produces the movie herself. DO NOT WANT.

  26. jp

    I will personally lead a boycott if this movie gets made with bouncy. This HAS to be a joke.

  27. Cid

    I dont even think beyonce thinks about these things! She should stick with what she does best… entertaining/singing/performing on stage and leave the job to the pros. i love beyonce but she should think twise about what she’s doing, she CAN’T be good at everything…

  28. cece

    love her

  29. Calven

    eartha was a bitch, she still is just a dead bitch

    I think Beyonce should take her No Acting self some were else!!!!!

    Eartha Kitt was indeed a True & Great Legend & she can never be replaced!!!!! I don’t care how many So-called great actors try to portray her!!!!! She was one of a kind!!! An I think Eartha will be pisted that someone that does not fit her description & who will never be able to connect with her audience as she did will try to play her!!!

    I don’t know who came up with this Dumb Ass Idea but I think it’s very Stupid & No one will like the movie because its not Eartha!!!! An ask you can see other Eartha Kitt Fans are Pisted that someone is trying to Ruin The Great Eartha Kitt!!!!

    NO-ONE will be able to replace her!!!!

    So HollyWood STOP what you are Doing & Leave Eartha Out of it!!!!!!!! All you are doing is wasting Millions of Dollars & Time & Ruining a True Legend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Rest In Peace Eartha Kitt!!!!! I Love you!!!!! : )

    Rumors are that a fresh new talent name Brandy Maddox has been commissioned to do this role. She favors Eartha alot and she has a beautiful sound. Ironically she is from Eartha’s hometown. Brandy Maddox sings under the name Gypsy Purl. A good friend of mine who is a film exec introduced me to her work. I think Gypsy Purl would be an execellent pick.

    I could not imagine Beyounce playing Eartha Kitt. I think it’s time to face the fact that Beyonce can’t act. She is a damn good singer but her acting abilities suck.

    I was so honored to personally know Eartha and I agree Ms. Kitt would turn over in her grave if she knew Beyonce was portraying her. Eartha Kitt did not grow up a super star. She had to work very hard to pave her way in Hollywood. She overcome alot of abuse and there is just to much depth in her character. Beyounce needs to step away from this one.
